 Thought I'd post a pic of something I picked up over the weekend, used but very good condition and a favorable price.

 Thanks for the nice comment!  I was about to pull the trigger on a more bling Day-Date in 2-Tone with the stepped bezel, but I figured it a little too "Can't afford the real Rolex".  At least this one was a little less identical.

I think they are for the most part. The early Tudor Subs have really caught on as I think have the chronos, but the rest of the Tudor lines don't seem to be as popular. I know that sometime ago Tudor went about re-inventing themselves as a watch brand to seperate themselves from Rolex.

Also, Very Nice pickup JKangThumbsUp02.gif

 Shady:
Don't know what sales are like in the US, but over here in Asia, they've always been seen as the "poor man's Rolex" with numerous sub-models like the Subs, Prince (Oyster Perp Jr) with stepped and plain bezels, and the old Rander (Exp I Jr).

Murphy:
Your observations are correct.  A lot of Tudor dealers in Singapore are also adopting the vibrant Art Noveau look of the new website, a clear delineation from the more stoic, prestigious Rolex site.  Same goes for the models. 

The new Prince models have a different bezel design to make them a little more "umph" and the Hydronauts now bear very little resemblance to the Subs.  The Chronos are also farther departed from the Daytona look.

Looks like a step in the right direction.

The early tudor subs used the same cases as the rolex so of course they are popular now as a source for case parts for vintage rolex subs!! shhhh it's a secret! ;)


and that is a fantastic tudor too!!
